    it’s such a complete “brain save” for me. I literally do nothing.The texture ends up being a tad different, but not enough that my family has ever noticed. 🙂 The kids love having it cooked in baggies too because I will keep some in the fridge and it makes them much more apt to cook up something on their own. 🙂

      Correct, this is the seasoning only. If you’re looking for a recipe that uses our seasoning, these Keto KFC Chicken Tenders are one of our most popular dishes: https://how2doketo.com/keto-copycat-kfc-chicken-tenders/

    WTAF is 2/3 of a teaspoon!?!? Does anybody work in thirds of teaspoons? All of my measuring spoon sets do not include thirds or 2 thirds! Hilarious!

      A suggestion for easier measuring:
      Use Tablespoons in lieu of teaspoons when making this.
      A teaspoon is 1/3 of a Tablespoon, so 2/3 Tablespoon is a 2 tsp.
      Easy Peasy.

    Wow! People are pretty snarky on here.
    I made up a batch and I love..love..LOVE IT! Soo tasty.
    And I’m sure you’ll be relieved to know that my brain didn’t melt measuring out the 2/3 of a teaspoon nor did it explode because the recipe didn’t call for flour.

      Because it is a seasoning mix. You can add it to your flour, but for keto, you wouldn’t use the flour.

    Shouldn’t you tell everyone about how many pounds of chicken this seasoning amount will cover, I seen someone ask you something about that and you said use as much as you want??? SERIOUSLY, if you can’t even put that in your recipe that is dumb
